Write a letter to your friend. In your letter:
- thank your friend for the holiday
- explain that you left your wallet in their house
- give them instructions of how to send it back to you"
LETTER:
Dear Laura,
I want to thank you for the amazing time I had with you in your city.
It was great seeing you after all this time and being able to spend an entire week together. You have not changed at all during these years, and I guess we can say the same about me, at least about bad habits, because I forgot something at your house.
First of all, I am truly grateful that you let me stay at your home and let me have this unforgettable experience in your city. I had so much fun visiting it with you and I consider myself lucky, because thanks to you I was able to discover many interesting spots that are not covered in any usual tourist guide. I also enjoyed immensely the true authentic local cuisine, I think without you I would have been ripped off by flavorless and overpriced restaurants catering to tourists.
On the painful note, I believe I have left my wallet in your guest room. I had all my important documents and cards in my handbag and I did not realize my wallet was missing until I got back home. It is a purple leather wallet. Could you please look for it and tell me if you find it? It would be greatly helpful if you could send it to me. I would, of course, cover all the shipping cost, so please tell me also the necessary bank account information.
Thank you again for the wonderful week and sorry for further bothering you with my negligence.
Please take care.
With love,

Hi everyone!
I decided to sign up to this website because I need to improve my written and spoken English, and this place seems very useful. Currently I'm living in Japan, but I've decided to try moving to another country next year and, in order to apply for immigration, I'm taking the required IELTS exam in about five weeks.
I'm not confident at all with my skills, especially in speaking, because I'm not a talkative person and I need constant practice to retain a decent level of fluency. I used to interpret from Japanese to English and vice versa, but now that I've changed job to something completely different, I'm not even able to hold a simple conversation in this language!
During the speaking section of the IELTS exam, you have to come up with ideas and examples for the the topic you are given and for answering the questions, and I really don't know how to talk at length about something I have no interest at all in, or I'm not very familiar with.
I'm still not acquainted with this website, but I hope we can help each other and achieve our goals!
